"I Didn't See G-Dragon Using Drugs"…Entertainment Venue Manager Changes Statement

"G-Dragon Drug Case, Did Not Witness Directly"
"Actor C Might Have Done It"... Mention of Another Name

A entertainment establishment manager A, who raised suspicions of drug use by G-Dragon (35, real name Kwon Ji-yong), has reversed his statement related to G-Dragon.

According to KBS on the 29th, A reportedly changed his statement during police investigation, saying, "I did not see G-Dragon using drugs directly," and "Another actor C, who visited my entertainment establishment with G-Dragon, might have used drugs."

Initially, A testified on December 7 last year that G-Dragon visited his entertainment establishment and "there was cocaine residue left in the bathroom of the room where G-Dragon was."

A is a central figure in the drug case involving famous celebrities such as actor Lee Sun-kyun and singer G-Dragon. A, who was the first to be arrested and indicted in connection with this case, worked at a Gangnam entertainment establishment, built connections with celebrities, and is suspected of delivering drugs supplied by a current doctor he knew to actor Lee Sun-kyun and G-Dragon, among others.

The police have continued their investigation based on A's statements, but the investigation has faced difficulties as both G-Dragon and Lee Sun-kyun tested negative in detailed examinations by the National Forensic Service.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon was booked without detention on drug charges under the Narcotics Control Act on the 25th of last month, raising suspicions of drug use, but he has consistently denied the allegations, stating, "I have not used drugs."

At a press conference on the 27th, when asked about the possibility of non-prosecution of G-Dragon, the police said, "It is correct to keep all possibilities open until a conclusion is reached." They added, "If it is clear from various circumstances that drugs were used, it is not appropriate to send the case for non-prosecution just because the test results are completely negative. The conclusion is reserved," expressing their intention to continue the investigation.
